    Today I was at the mall waiting for friends, when a lady wearing a knit hat and a sweater came up to me and, shivering, said, “I’m homeless. Would you mind buying me some food?”
    In that split second, everything I’d learned since kindergarten flashed through my mind. Don’t talk to strangers… Be a good citizen… People will take advantage of you… Treat others as you wish to be treated…I guess love won the debate. “Sure,” I said. “What would you like?”
    She thought and then said, “I’d like to get Chinese food.” We headed upstairs. She ordered soup, an egg roll, white rice, and pepper chicken. I would normally think that was a lot, but she had probably barely eaten in the last few days. I got my usual – lo mein and General Tso’s chicken.
    Meanwhile I was eating my lo mein, picking around the cabbage and the other vegetables. Joyce said, “If you don’t like it you can take it back.” I told her that I liked it, but was not fond of the vegetables. She broke into a big grin. “You don’t like vegetables, huh? Neither did I. But now I do.” I immediately felt guilty. How could I be picking at my food across from someone who barely gets to eat at all?
    I tried my best to finish, but she seemed to sense my guilt and said, “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t want it.” How could she know what I was feeling? I told her the dish was my favorite, but I just eat slowly.
    She got up to get a to-go box. “Would you like one?” she asked, but I refused. I realized that this food would probably last her for a few days, and I was glad she had ordered a lot.
    “Would you like these?” I asked, gesturing at the food I had left untouched. “Oh, no, thank you,” she said. “This is enough.” I got up to throw my tray away, feeling guilty again.
    “I need to meet my friends now,” I explained. “It was so nice to meet you, Joyce.”
    “You too, Claire,” she replied with a smile. “Thank you.”
    I headed to the theater, and she went back downstairs. I kept puzzling, Why is Joyce homeless?  She shouldn’t need people to buy her dinner. She was a nurse. She got good grades. She took pictures for her yearbook. She was the person I hope to be in the future. How could such a good life be rewarded with horrible luck?
    Anyway, I wish her the best, and hope that the force that brought us together will help her find what she deserves in life.

    Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed (黯然失色),  it is    41    
    outweighed.
    For every single act that is senselessly destructive,   42   are thousands more small, quiet acts of love,    43    and sympathy. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who    44   their lives to helping and to healing.
    There is a goodness to life that   45   be denied. In the most remarkable views and in the smallest details, look    46   , because that goodness always comes shining through. There is no   47  to the goodness of life. It   48    more abundant(充裕的) each time you feel it. The   49   you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
    Even   50     the cold winds blow and the world seems to be    51   in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives   52   . Open your eyes, open your heart,   53    you will see that goodness is everywhere. Though the goodness of life    54    at times to suffer hardships, it is always going on there. For in the   55  moment, it becomes more clear that life is a   56   treasure. And so the goodness of   57   is made even stronger by the very things that would go against it.
    Time and time again when you feared it was   58   forever, you found that the goodness of life was really only a / an   59    away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and    60  you.

    Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path．I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud．As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack．It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected．I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times．I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me．Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing．And I was laughing．After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
    Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward．My attacker rushed me again．He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain．For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused．I wasn't sure what to do．After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly．I stepped back to look the situation over．My attacker moved back to land on the ground．That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier．He had a mate and she was dying．
    Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her．I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate．He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake （缘故）, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large．He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her．His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable．I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool．He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed．    
    Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.

    I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
    The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
    Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.
    The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
    小题1:. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______.
    A．its convenient location
    B．its great variety of goods
    C．its spirit of goodwill
    D．its nice shopping environment
    小题2:. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____.
    A．sell cheap products
    B．deal with unwanted things
    C．raise money for patients
    D．help a foreign country
    小题3:. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?
    A．The operating costs are very low.
    B．The staff are usually well paid.
    C．90% of the donations are second-hand.
    D．They are open twenty-four hours a day.
    小题4:. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
    A．What to Buy a Charity Shops.
    B．Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
    C．Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
    D．The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.

      I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
    I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
    The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
    My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
    From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
    小题1: How did the author get to know America?
    A．From radio programs B．From books and pictures
    C．From her motherD．From her relatives
    小题2: Upon leaving for America the author felt __________.
    A．excited B．confusedC．worriedD．amazed
    小题3: For the first two years in New York, the author __________.
    A．often lost her way
    B．did not think about her future
    C．studied in three different schools
    D．got on well with her stepfather
    小题4: What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
    A．She worked as a translator.
    B．She attended a lot of job interviews.
    C．She paid telephone bills for her family.
    D．She helped her family with her English.
    小题5: The author believes that __________.
    A．her future will be free from troubles
    B．it is difficult to learn to become patient
    C．there are more good things than bad things
    D．good things will happen if one keeps trying

    My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening near my parents’ tomb in the churchyard.
    “Hold your noise!” came a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the tombs at the side of the church. “Keep still, you little devil(小鬼), or I’ll cut your throat!”
    A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. He seized me by the chin(下巴).
    “Tell us your name!” said the man. “Quick!”
    “Pip, sir.”
    “Show us where you live,” said the man. “Point out the place!”
    I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.
    The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread.
    “You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you ha’ got. Darn me if I couldn’t eat em, and if I han’t half a mind to’t!”
    I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.
    “Now then lookee here!” said the man. “Where’s your mother?”
    “There, sir!” said I.
